Today I Am A Daisy
Embracing Tomorrow's Promise
Lyrics
Deborah Conway
Introduction of the artist, Deborah Conway.
Today I am a daisy
Expressing the current identity as a daisy.
Tomorrow I will be the chain holding up your heart
Anticipation of becoming the emotional support, symbolized as a heart's chain, in the future.
Today I am a waitress but tomorrow I could be an astronaut
Presently a waitress, but the potential to be an astronaut and explore new horizons.
Flying to the moon, playing amongst the stars
Imagining the experience of flying to the moon and playing among the stars.
Seeing the galaxy from inside a jar
Metaphorically encapsulating the vastness of the galaxy within a jar.
Today I am a sea-shell
Identifying as a sea-shell in the current moment.
Tomorrow I will be the ocean roaring in your ear
Future transformation into the powerful and resonant ocean.
Today I am your daughter
Presently acknowledged as someone's daughter.
Tomorrow I will make your disappointments disappear
Commitment to resolving or alleviating the disappointments of the parent in the future.
And you will come fly with me
Invitation for the listener to join in a metaphorical journey through time.
We will play leap frog through the years
Envisioning a playful and joyful progression through the years.
And life will be elegant
Aspiring for an elegant and refined quality in life.
We can chase away the tears
Collaborative effort to dispel sadness and tears.
Goodbye goodbye
Farewell to the present moment, implying the inevitability of time passing.
Today will be tomorrow
Reiteration of the temporal transition, suggesting that today becomes tomorrow.
Goodbye goodbye
Repeat of the farewell, emphasizing the proximity of the approaching future.
Tomorrow's almost here
Highlighting the imminent arrival of tomorrow.
Goodbye goodbye
Reiteration of the temporal shift, emphasizing the continuous cycle.
Today will be tomorrow
Emphasizing the temporal nature of the current moment.
Goodbye goodbye
Repeating the farewell, suggesting a sense of finality or change.
Something might be clear
Introducing the possibility of clarity or understanding in the future.
Today I am a daisy
Reiteration of the current identity as a daisy.
Tomorrow I will be Vincent's sunflowers,
Future transformation into sunflowers, referencing Vincent van Gogh's art, or Claude Monet's lilies, indicating artistic freedom.
Claude's lilies anything I want
Asserting the ability to be anything desired in the future.
Today I am a waitress but tomorrow well I might be an astronaut
Returning to the present identity as a waitress, with the potential for a future as an astronaut.
I will be bathed in love
Envisioning being surrounded by love.
I will be soaking in tenderness
Immersion in tenderness and care in the future.
And you will be standing there
Anticipation of a significant other standing by with love.
The one who loves me best
Recognition of the person who loves the artist the most.
